Hello and welcome to the blog for the National Costumers Association.

The National Costumers Association (NCA) is the organization for professional costumers, costumer retailers, renters and costume designers.

About the National Costumers Association
Over 80 years of supporting the costuming industry all over the nation.

The National Costumers Association was organized on August 24, 1923, bringing together a small group of costumers dedicated to upgrading and promoting the costume industry. Through the years both the association and the industry have grown in size and scope. The chief objectives of the NCA today are:

Establish and maintain professional and ethical standards of business in the costume industry. Encourage and promote a greater and more diversified use of costumes in all fields of human activity. Provide trade information, cooperation and friendship among its members together with a sound public relations policy. We are involved in a very complex industry. Theatrical, masquerade, dance, academic and religious are only a few of the different kinds of costumers in business today. Add to all of this a variety of sidelines - flags, party favors, magic, balloons, fabrics, trims and novelties and an attempt to classify our industry proves impossible.

You're invited to share our experiences by becoming a member of the NCA. We're sure you'll find it fun, informative, and well worth your while. We wish you the best and look forward to your membership in the NCA!
